GameStop Plans To Accept Trade-Ins And Resell Apple iOS Portable Devices
If you're looking to ditch an outdated iPod or iPhone -- or buy an older model at a discounted price -- you'll soon be able to do so at video game retailer GameStop.
According to a report at the website 9to5mac, GameStop will begin offering all models of iPhones, iPads, and iPods at its stores nationwide. While, so far, no Apple products are available for sale at GameStop, rumors out of the recent GameStop managers conference indicate that this will happen soon -- perhaps setting the stage for sales of new Apple products when the iPhone 5 launches in October.
Right now, this page on the GameStop site indicates that the company is accepting trade-ins of old Apple devices for in-store credit, presumably to start building stock for eventual sale.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
